Roger was one of the kindest individuals I’ve known. I will miss his laugh, infectious smile, hugs and the sound of his cowboy boots.
Love to all,

My family and I would like to offer our deepest sympathies to you and your family. We are so sorry for your loss. Please know that you are never alone. Turn to the Holy Scriptures for guidance and to help soothe your heart. Psalms 34:18 assures us that God is near to those broken at heart and crushed in spirit. Please accept our deepest sympathies.
I only met Roger twice when visiting my cousin Lauren, he seemed such a nice man. I know his son Rod (Lauren’s husband) was raised to be a stand up man thanks to his loving parents. Rest in Peace and God Bless!
One of my favorite memories of Roger is when we used his truck one time to pick up a few feeder pigs. We put straw in the back and hauled them from Beroun to Hastings and he drove around with the used straw in the back for several days after because it made him feel like a farmer again.
